The Inventors Gallery
The Inventors Gallery of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office honours German inventors who have had a significant influence on important areas of modern technology.
The gallery was opened in 1984, extended in 1987 and 1999, and comprises today 17 portraits of outstanding inventors.
In honouring these inventors, the GPTO also wishes to express its gratitude and recognition to all German research scientists and inventors for their achievements.
May the gallery be considered as an incentive for all innovative forces to further expand, and as a signal to business and policy-makers to provide sustainable support and assistance to these innovative forces.
